Barikisu Jangu

Barikisu’s primary goal as a WFE participant was to learn everything she could in America during her internship, return to Ghana, and teach agriculture. She is doing just that. Today, Barikisu is an agricultural extension officer focused on outreach to women farmers in Ghana. Her job takes her by motorcycle to various parts of the country to help women farmers strategize, plan their farms, improve production, and optimize logistics. She also works to address the specific needs and challenges of women farmers throughout Ghana, listening to their concerns and advocating on their behalf.
